OSX Apache using wrong version of PHP
Did you follow all the instructions provided in the Caveats?
Run brew info php54
to see them again.
Especially the line:
To enable PHP in Apache add the following to httpd.conf and restart Apache:
LoadModule php5_module /usr/local/Cellar/php54/5.4.8/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so
Apache is not aware of the homebrew version of PHP (i.e. /usr/bin/php
). You see it on the command line because you've likely modified your PATH
(i.e. /usr/local/bin/php
).
You can modify this in your httpd.conf file.
I am not a fan of homebrew or other package libraries. Primarily because Mac OS X is built atop Unix. Furthermore, all but MySQL are installed natively. Here's an article on installing Apache, MySQL, and PHP on Mac OS X.
